Chapter 4: I Became Their…
The Holy Jade Immortal was pinned beneath Shi Hao, the scorching heat transferring from his skin to hers.
This Pleasure-Inducing Powder was no ordinary mortal substance but a supreme-grade demonic essence. In her current weakened state, she could barely resist it.
She felt every inch of her skin burning, her mind becoming hazy.
Fortunately, she was a Daoist genius who had cultivated since childhood, possessing a firm will. Mustering her last bit of strength, she forcefully pushed the man off her and kicked him away with all her might.
Shi Hao rolled several times. His eyes were bloodshot, his body burning with desire. Though he still retained some self-awareness and knew he should control himself, his body involuntarily sought its target.
He staggered to his feet and scanned his surroundings. The first thing he saw was a captivating figure in crimson.
He stumbled towards the alluring figure in peach red.
The Enchanting Fire Witch instantly panicked. She had originally planned to watch the show from the sidelines while recovering her vital energy, but now she saw the man, kicked away by Ye Zi Yin, approaching her like a hungry wolf eyeing a lamb.
“Don’t… don’t come any closer… Stay away!” She scrambled away.
Shi Hao, a mere mortal, how could he control himself? Without a word, he pounced on her, pinning her beneath him.
At this moment, he was like a walking aphrodisiac, the heat immediately transferring to the Enchanting Fire Witch. Born into the demonic sects, cunning and treacherous, her Dao heart was not as firm as the Holy Jade Immortal’s. Moreover, those of the demonic path were more susceptible to demonic essences. In an instant, she too began to writhe beneath Shi Hao.
Seeing the Enchanting Fire Witch’s scheme backfiring, the Holy Jade Immortal couldn’t help but laugh.
She was pure and virtuous, her heart as cold as ice, but after years of fighting the Enchanting Fire Witch, they had grown to despise each other. Now, seeing the Enchanting Fire Witch falling victim to her own plot, she burst into laughter.
This laughter caused the Holy Jade Immortal to lose her own Dao heart, allowing the demonic drug to penetrate her core.
Hearing her laughter, Su Mei, overwhelmed with shame, pushed the man off her and rolled over. Before they knew it, the three of them were entangled together…
Shi Hao, with the Holy Jade Immortal in one arm and the Enchanting Fire Witch in the other, was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, both the Holy Jade Immortal and the Enchanting Fire Witch were still unconscious.
Shi Hao lay on the ground with the two women in his arms, staring at the vast sky, at a loss for what to do.
He had actually done such a thing to them?
The demonic drug, with a man as the medium, acted as a potent tonic for the man himself. Thus, he was the first to regain his strength.
He hurriedly sat up and looked at the Holy Jade Immortal and the Enchanting Fire Witch on either side of him, both marveling at his good fortune and feeling his scalp tingle.
Thinking that they would definitely fight again upon waking up, he quickly separated them, placing them far apart. He then gathered their clothes and, unable to dress them himself, covered their bodies.
After quickly dressing himself, he looked up, wondering if they would kill him in anger when they woke up.
But it really wasn’t his fault, was it?
From a certain perspective… he was the innocent victim caught in the crossfire, wasn’t he?
Shi Hao forced himself to calm down. Amidst his panic, he thought that since things had already come to this, it was their own doing, not his fault.
Having calmed down, he finally had the chance to properly examine his surroundings.
The sky above was vast, with something vaguely covering them from above.
In the distance were broken eaves, collapsed white jade pillars, a half-ruined archway, and a plaque. Half of the plaque was missing, and the remaining half was fragmented. On the plaque were several characters written in a bold and vigorous style.
The characters were written with majestic grandeur, but he didn’t recognize a single one.
Although aesthetically pleasing, each stroke was curved like a tadpole. He thought to himself, so this is the so-called “tadpole script”?
The Enchanting Fire Witch lay on a broken piece of white jade. Her peach-red skirt barely covered her body, revealing her fragrant shoulders and jade-like legs. Her “flying celestial” hairstyle was askew from their earlier struggle.
At this moment, she looked nothing like the demonic witch who had caused chaos in the martial world, but more like a helpless and vulnerable woman who had been ravaged, making Shi Hao feel a twinge of guilt.
However, she had administered the drug herself, so upon further reflection, he couldn’t bring himself to feel much sympathy.
He turned to the other side and saw the Holy Jade Immortal Ye Zi Yin lying on a bronze mirror. He had noticed the smooth and flat mirror earlier and carried her over to it.
Because she was wearing a white wrap-around Daoist robe, it spread out and covered her body completely, revealing only her delicate, jade-like feet.
Suddenly, the white robe shifted, and the Holy Jade Immortal reached out from beneath it, sitting up gracefully.
The robe slipped down, revealing her beautiful body. She suddenly came to her senses and, with a gasp, hurriedly clutched it to her chest.
Shi Hao quickly stepped back, fearing she would summon an ice sword and cut him to pieces.
However, the Holy Jade Immortal simply stared at him, her fair face flushing crimson. She seemed to touch herself beneath the robe, and her blushing face turned livid.
Shi Hao involuntarily took another step back.
Naked beneath her open robe, the Holy Jade Immortal cursed her misfortune. She was a righteous figure, a revered immortal of the martial world. She would never harm the innocent. Although she had inexplicably lost her virginity, despite her anger, she couldn’t blame this man who had been unwittingly involved.
She wanted to get up and dress, but she found herself still weak and powerless.
The demonic drug, hidden by the Enchanting Fire Witch to frame her, was a potent tonic for men but a poison for women. Although it wouldn’t kill her, she hadn’t fully recovered yet.
Looking at the other side, she saw that the Enchanting Fire Witch was still unconscious. The Holy Jade Immortal whispered, “Quickly… go and kill her.”
Shi Hao hesitated, “But…”
The Holy Jade Immortal said, “She is a demonic witch carefully nurtured by the Evil Lotus Sect of the demonic path, an enemy of the righteous path who harms the world and slaughters innocent people. If she is allowed to leave, who knows how many more will die at her hands. You saw it yourself just now, she attacked you to harm me. This is the way of the demonic sects, selfish and unscrupulous.”
Shi Hao hesitated. The Enchanting Fire Witch had indeed attacked him, forcing the Holy Jade Immortal to protect him.
This alone showed the difference between the demonic sects and the righteous path. However, looking at the scantily clad demonic witch, he couldn’t bring himself to be so heartless as to kill the woman he had just been intimate with.
Shi Hao shook his head, “I won’t kill her…”
A giggle interrupted him. The Enchanting Fire Witch rolled over and sat up, laughing, “You’re not stupid after all! We’ve fought for so many years, neither of us able to defeat the other. If she’s awake, how could I still be asleep? She’s just putting on airs of righteousness, unable to kill you herself, so she’s asking you to do it for her, forcing me to kill the man who defiled her.”
She sat up gracefully, her robe barely clinging to her chest. She raised her arms and stretched languidly, her posture alluring and captivating.
The Holy Jade Immortal said coldly, “Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?”
The Enchanting Fire Witch covered her chest with one hand and laughed, “Aren’t you righteous people all about pretending to be virtuous? You asked him to kill me. If I die, you win. If he dies, you don’t lose. Luckily, this young man is smart enough. Otherwise, he would have been killed by you.”
However, Shi Hao hadn’t realized she was feigning sleep. He simply thought that the Enchanting Fire Witch’s Fire Lotus Blade could counter the Supreme Emperor Lie Zunyi’s Heavenly Plague Demonic Secret. For this reason alone, he couldn’t let her die here.
It was fortunate he had considered this; otherwise, he might have been killed by her.
The Holy Jade Immortal glared at the Enchanting Fire Witch, gnashing her teeth, “No one can compare to your despicable shamelessness, resorting to such disgraceful tactics.”
The thought of losing her virginity so inexplicably filled her with anger and rage, almost shattering her Dao heart once more.
The Enchanting Fire Witch also secretly regretted her actions, realizing she had brought this upon herself.
Although she was from the demonic sects, she practiced the supreme secret arts of the Night Enchanting Heaven and had always been chaste. She never expected to fall victim to her own drug today.
Feeling extremely annoyed, she said sharply, “So, all of you from the Taisu Immortal Pavilion are just pretending to be virtuous. On the surface, you act all noble and dignified, radiating immortal energy, but secretly, you’re probably all just waiting for men to crawl all over you.”
The Holy Jade Immortal retorted coldly, “I think you demonic people don’t take this seriously at all. You, Enchanting Fire Witch, have probably already offered your arms as pillows to thousands and your lips to tens of thousands. You’re utterly despicable.”
The Enchanting Fire Witch flew into a rage, grabbing nearby debris and throwing it at the Holy Jade Immortal.
The Holy Jade Immortal retaliated in kind, picking up whatever she could find and throwing it back.
Shi Hao dodged while staring at them in disbelief. These two, one a righteous immortal and the other a demonic witch, were now acting like children fighting in the mud, throwing whatever they could get their hands on, completely devoid of any semblance of their expert demeanor.
Of course, this also showed just how enraged they were.
Seeing that their fight was about to continue endlessly, Shi Hao gritted his teeth and roared, “Both of you, stop!”
The Holy Jade Immortal and the Enchanting Fire Witch, each holding broken bricks and stones, looked at him.
Shi Hao looked around, his face unusually serious, his eyes filled with anger.
These two, one a righteous immortal and the other a demonic genius, could easily kill him with a flick of their wrists.
But now, he looked at them with disdain. He lowered his voice as much as possible, trying to maintain his composure.
He said slowly, “Do you know how many of our fellow Chinese have died while you two have been scheming and fighting to the death here? Do you know how many cities were slaughtered, how many people were killed when the barbarian court invaded three hundred years ago?
“For these past three hundred years, Lie Zunyi has ruled the Central Plains, with the Jin clan as the royal family and the Chinese people as slaves, living precarious lives, as lowly as ants. And the cause of this disaster was the conflict you instigated within the martial world all those years ago.
“You caused countless martial artists to perish in your fight between good and evil. You allowed the northern barbarians to profit, killing countless innocent people. You have the power to resist Lie Zunyi, yet you waste your lives in this place, fighting meaninglessly for so many years, watching as China falls and its people suffer.”
He paused, his face as cold as ice, his eyes burning with furious flames.
His hands were clenched tightly, his nails digging into his palms, almost drawing blood. “Just before I entered this place, martial world scum loyal to the barbarian court were capturing two children, a girl and a boy. Their father, a scholar with no martial arts skills, died resisting the barbarian court.
“There were a group of martial artists, their strength far inferior to yours, who risked their lives to protect the children of the loyal and righteous, fleeing with them in the storm. They knew the barbarian court was powerful, that their journey was perilous, yet they went without hesitation. They were caught, and they are likely dead now.
“And you two, so powerful, commanding both the righteous and demonic paths, capable of stirring up storms in the martial world, capable of inciting conflict between Daoists and Demons. You possess extraordinary martial arts and supernatural abilities, geniuses of both paths, yet you live lives less meaningful than those two children.”
Under his accusations, Su Mei raised an eyebrow, her face filled with murderous intent, but then she snorted and turned away, refusing to speak.
The Holy Jade Immortal lowered her gaze, contemplating for a long time before sighing softly, “Alas…”
Shi Hao turned away, ignoring them, and walked among the ruins.
Behind him, Ye Zi Yin and Su Mei exchanged glances, clutched their clothes, and drifted away in opposite directions.
Shi Hao stood beneath a stone pillar. From afar, the pillar hadn’t seemed very tall, and he felt he had only walked half a mile. But now, standing here, looking up, he saw the pillar soaring into the clouds, like a pillar of heaven.
The seemingly world-connecting pillar made him feel incredibly small, and he realized that the space here was definitely unusual.
He stood there, gazing up at the towering pillar, marveling at its grandeur and magnificence.
A soft “Hey” came from behind him.
Shi Hao turned and saw Su Mei standing there, seemingly having appeared out of nowhere.
She had put on her peach-red skirt but not her trousers.
She sat on a round white jade stone, likely an ornament that had once adorned a roof or pillar.
She crossed her legs, her crimson skirt revealing her slender, white feet and delicate toes. She smiled, relaxed and exuding an indescribable charm.
She said, “Tell me, what’s it like out there now?”
